contents With the growth of statistics in the future experiments at the LHC, the number of events with charm production will increase substantially. It may become possible to measure the multiplicity distribution of charm particles. Using PYTHIA-8, we generated charm multiplicity distributions in $pp$ collisions for different pseudorapidity ranges ($|η| < 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0$) and center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s}=$ 0.9, 2.36, 2.76, 7.0, 8.0, 13.0 TeV). We investigated the role played by multiple parton interactions and color reconnection. We compared the multiplicity distribution of D mesons with the charm quark multiplicity distribution. We observe that the "quark-hadron" duality hypothesis is satisfied. With the obtained distributions we tested the validity of the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling. We also parameterized the charm distributions considering the Poisson and negative binomial distributions.
